LOS ANGELES — Federal prosecutors are arguing for stiff sentences for two suspended policeman convicted in the beating of motorist Rodney King. In a memorandum filed in court Friday, prosecutors said public statements by Sgt. Stacey Koon and Officer Laurence Powell show they are unrepentant. The prosecutors urge seven years to nine years in prison for Powell and nine years to 10 years for Koon. Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 4.
